Shohei Ohtani hits 300th homer in Dodgers\u2019 loss<\/p>\n
From Maddie Lee<\/a>: In Shohei Ohtani<\/a>, who on Tuesday became the first Japanese player to hit 300 home runs in MLB, the Dodgers had the first National League All-Star voted in this year.<\/p>\n They still have a chance for a late addition.<\/p>\n Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been lobbying for two members of his pitching staff to be named replacement players: left-handed starter Justin Wrobleski<\/a> and left-handed reliever Tanner Scott<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s going to be some changes and some talks here,\u201d Roberts said before the Dodgers\u2019 4-3 loss <\/a>against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium. \u201cThere\u2019s continual talks about both guys.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier Tuesday, MLB announced replacements for three NL pitchers who won\u2019t be eligible to appear in the All-Star Game. Pittsburgh\u2019s Braxton Ashcraft, Philadelphia\u2019s Jes\u00fas Luzardo and St. Louis\u2019 Riley O\u2019Brien claimed spots as Pittsburgh\u2019s Paul Skenes, Milwaukee\u2019s Jacob Misiorowski and Miami\u2019s Max Meyer bowed out.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d Wrobleski said after holding the Rockies to one run through seven innings. \u201cYou want to be an All-Star. It\u2019s something that, regardless of the year, whenever, it\u2019s always a big deal. It\u2019s something I wanted to do. It\u2019s frustrating to not get that nod. But like I said before, it\u2019s just more reason to try and keep getting better. Hopefully I can gain the respect of players and everybody else and maybe be in there next year.\u201d<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Dodgers box score<\/a> <\/p>\n MLB standings<\/a> <\/p>\n Go beyond the scoreboard <\/p>\n Get the latest on L.A.’s teams in the daily Sports Report newsletter.<\/p>\n By continuing, you agree to our Terms of Service<\/a>, which include arbitration and a class action waiver.

Why couldn\u2019t the U.S. compete with the best teams in the world? Why not us?<\/p>\n Monday he got his answer: Because the U.S. just isn\u2019t good enough.<\/p>\n A couple of rousing performances in group play and a win over a third-place team in the first elimination game had the U.S. believing, had the U.S. hoping. Maybe Pochettino was right. Maybe it was the Americans\u2019 time.<\/p>\n But it all proved to be a mirage.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n Swanson: Trump\u2019s World Cup meddling only made matters worse for rattled U.S. squad<\/a> <\/p>\n Paraguayan senator demands apology from Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 for his response to her racist posts<\/a> <\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s World Cup results<\/p>\n Round of 16<\/b> Today\u2019s World Cup TV schedule<\/p>\n All times Pacific World Cup round of 16 schedule, results<\/p>\n Round of 16 results<\/b> Quarterfinals schedule<\/p>\n All times Pacific Thursday<\/b> Friday<\/b> Saturday<\/b> Angels lose seventh in a row<\/p>\n Alejandro Osuna hit a three-run homer during a five-run eighth inning and the Texas Rangers pulled away for an 8-3 win<\/a> over the Angels<\/a> on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n Osuna\u2019s first homer of the season followed RBI singles by Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue in the six-hit inning off Sam Bachman (1-2).

He played last season with the New Orleans Pelicans. Looney, 30, is an 11-year veteran who went to UCLA. He\u2019s a strong rebounder, a very good defender and he sets solid screens for teammates.<\/p>\n Looney will be the backup behind starter Walker Kessler<\/a>, who was acquired in a trade<\/a> from the Utah Jazz and agreed to a four-year, $130-million deal. The Lakers traded<\/a> last season\u2019s starting center, Deandre Ayton, and backup Jaxson Hayes signed with the Jazz.<\/p>\n Continue reading here<\/a> <\/p>\n This day in sports history<\/p>\n 1889 \u2014 John L.
